Eva was a kind, generous, and caring person who had a vibrant personality. She almost always had a smile on her face, and laughed a lot. She never met a stranger that she didn’t make into a friend.

Eva was dubbed as the mother of Rock n Roll by several bands in the local area, which she supported through the years. She also loved to sing.
